If you’re seeking a program that hands out roles to fill a resume, this may not be the place for you. At the Netherlands Lyric Opera Festival, we’re redefining what a training experience should be. Listening to young artists' individual needs, we built a festival designed to prioritize your unique artistry and career development, going beyond the traditional 'pay-to-sing' model. We tailor performances and training to your specific strengths and goals. Here, your individual growth takes center stage. 

Our approach is rooted in transparency, artistic collaboration, and fostering a supportive and safe environment where emerging talent can flourish. Our team of relevant mentors would not only pass an HR test, but have their finger on the pulse of the current opera world. We bring in active industry professionals who are invested in mentoring, not just lecturing.
